Second edition of the Roman Catholic version of the New Testament in English, first published in Rheims in 1582. 4to. pp. [36], 745, [27], 2ff. blank. Title printed within woodcut border, woodcut head- and tail-pieces, numerous woodcut initials. Bound in early black morocco with single gilt rule cover borders, small thistle cover pieces and central gilt device, later re-backed in 20th century, spine lettered in gilt, new paste-downs, two previous ownership inscriptions. Published by Daniel Vervliet (Antwerp), 1600.
A little wear to the binding, the occasional minor blemish, a previous owner has made a brief annotation to p.170; a very good example.
This Roman Catholic translation of the New Testament was undertaken by Gregory Martin (c. 1542-1582), with assistance from other priests at the English College set up in Douai, France by Catholics fleeing the religious persecution of the British crown. (STC 2898; ESTC S102510; Darlow & Moule 258.)
